I try to track upstream as closely as I can; F8 had quite a lot of
patches for a while, and I got it whittled down to just a couple.  I
think I'm back up to 7 though :)

Patch1: e2fsprogs-1.39-blkid-devmapper.patch
Patch2: e2fsprogs-1.38-etcblkid.patch
Patch3: e2fsprogs-1.39-mkinstalldirs.patch
Patch4: e2fsprogs-1.40.4-uuidd-tidy.patch
Patch5: e2fsprogs-1.40.4-sb_feature_check_ignore.patch
Patch6: e2fsprogs-1.40.4-blkid-ext4dev.patch
Patch7: e2fsprogs-1.40.4-no-static-e2fsck.patch

# put blkid.tab in /etc/blkid/ - fedora-ism I think

# Fix for newer autoconf (#220715) - only 'cause we must

%patch4 -p1 -b .uuidd-tidy
# ignore some flag differences on primary/backup sb feature checks
